I don't actually see a question or proposition to discuss here. Most of your responders seem to think you want to talk about Rush Limbaugh and the possibility of inflated COVID-19 fatality numbers, but you state up front that are using that article as an example and make note repeatedly of intellectual honesty, but that's more than a little vague. You haven't come back yet in response to any of the several folks who've taken up your invitation, so, could you possibly clarify precisely what it is you'd like to debate?

Copy and paste from first postI'm using that article as an example because I use the term intellectual honesty a lot- Rush, is a great example as well as our own beloved, I'm sure, PoliticalChic- I've said for years Rush is very intelligent, but he is hyper-partisan. I've told our very own, beloved, I'm sure, PoliticalChic, the same thing- I give them their just due for their intelligence, (and I'll add now, their tenacity as there is a lot to be said for that trait) but I can't abide their hyper-partisan intellect. Both are intelligent enough to know better and the evidence is overwhelming that there is very little difference in the Party elite outside their rhetoric, which is used as a tool to keep citizens divided. Any half wit can see there is no difference. Hitting a brick wall at 100 or at 90 still is hitting a brick wall. The only (maybe) difference is the rate of descent to the same destination- and that rate of descent is accelerating almost daily.

In the article it says what it says- I'm not going to give away the punch line- you have to read it and make your own determination.

example: a thing characteristic of its kind or illustrating a general rule

Conservative talk-radio host and recent Presidential Medal of Freedom honoree Rush Limbaugh on Thursday floated the theory that deaths from coronavirus have been inflated so that governments could further “the policies they have put in place.”Citing the latest record-breaking unemployment claims...

I wonder what Leftists infected with Trump Covid Derangement Syndrome have against Trump and others pursuing all avenues of treatment for the Chinese virus? They're literally wishing treatments to fail and people to die just so they cause attain the Whitehouse this November. They are willing even attack a fellow Black Democrat woman just because Trump's suggested and approved a treatment that saved her life. I guess it isn't racist or sexist when THEY viciously attack a Black woman. These animals belong in a asylum!

President Trump on Thursday night shared some advice for Michigan state Rep. Karen Whitsett, the Democrat who recently survived a bout with coronavirus – only to now face possible censure by some fellow Democrats.

You need to learn that outside of membership in the Trump Cult at least 60 percent of thinking adults aren’t so much against Trump as they are in favor of facts truth honesty and have the utmost respect for science.

And since Trump rejects all that there is no choice other than rejecting Trump and his devoted admirers.

She was not a participant in a clinical trial so there is no medical science to verify that she was on the verge of death from C19 infection.

more than 2:1 patients in VA hospitals survived without hydroxychloroquine.

About 28% who were given hydroxychloroquine plus usual care died, versus 11% of those getting routine care alone.​

Hydroxychloroquine made no difference in the need for a breathing machine, either.​

Researchers did not track side effects, but noted hints that hydroxychloroquine might have damaged other organs. The drug has long been known to have potentially serious side effects, including altering the heartbeat in a way that could lead to sudden death.​

So what does one woman who may not have been terminally ill saying the drug saved her life mean? It means nothing - scientifically.

That you don’t understand that is sad, but Trump not understanding that whole pushing an untested drug is horrific,

Rrrrright. 'Cause the idiots on the Left and their jackbooted anti American commie followers like BLM and Antifa terrorist fascists and their propagandists in the media, are just so much holier than thou. Remember, we were told by them for three years 24/7 non-stop that Trump colluded and was a "secret Russian asset". What happened to that?

We are essentially witnessing the collapse of the Left, the final nail in the coffin will be when Trump wins in a landslide, and regains the House.

Oh okay, but she does deserve to be ostracized and sanctioned by the Left because she dared thank Trump for promting a drug that SHE, the person who was infected, thought cured her. But we know that the Demcrats are such "tolerant" people, right?

Why did Trump lose the House during
the greatest American economy ever, that only Trump could create for us?

Why did that Republican Judge get his ass kicked in the Wisconsin election by the Democrat, after Trump endorsed him?

and then there is this:

The economy will shrink at an annualized rate of 39.6 percent in the second quarter, according to the latest projections from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO), its first to take into account the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.​

"The economy will experience a sharp contraction in the second quarter of 2020 stemming from factors related to the pandemic, including the social distancing measures put in place to contain it," CBO Director Phillip Swagel wrote.​

The CBO projects that things will rebound somewhat in the third quarter, with 23.5 percent annualized growth, followed by a projection of 10.5 percent growth in the final quarter of the year.​

​

Trump pretty much wiped out the longest period of economic expansion that Obama started in 2009. It only took Trump
three years. Trump never got the GDP higher than Obama did and now he’ll be going for re-election at -10% GDP.

Midterms the side that isn't in the Whitehouse usually wins the House and Senate. Why did the Republicans gain a Supermajority in the House during the Obama years not seen since WWII? Why did the Republican hold on to the Senate and even gain seats during the midterms. Why did Hillary lose if Obama was such a successful president

In seven hard-hit states, total deaths are nearly 50 percent higher than normal, according to new C.D.C. statistics, suggesting that the virus has killed far more people than the number in official counts.

Something out of the ordinary started killing people in NYC in March and April this year that just happened to coincide with a deadly viral pandemic that just so happens to be killing people all around the world in similar ways.
